The cost of agreement

The debate over climate change has been raging for some time now.  Has anyone considered the actual  spent to date on meetings, reports and the like?  Considering that the electorate of the Fraser Valley in BC, Canada has calculated their spend of $100k on just one issue around a garbage incinerator we’ve got to be in the trillions globally by now for the overall climate change discussion.  I guess we could start with the actual summits held annually around the world.  By the way, I’d love to know the stats on all three scope emissions just to fly climate leaders around.  What’s your guess on what we’ve collectively spent?  Have we gotten anywhere with our investment?  Maybe we need to focus more around enablement rather than gaining agreement.  Like how to get software for sustainability reporting and analytics.   What’s the money really going to?  Are we just spending the most of it on convincing the masses of the problem – does anyone have an analysis or pie chart of where all the money has gone – or how much we’ve spent and what we’ve achieved for it?   As usual when all is said and done a lot more is said than done.
